<h1>Welcome to Babili!</h1>
<p>First of all thank you for your contribution to Talend Community's Translation Project!</p>



<h2>How to get started on Babili?</h2>
<p>After you logged in to the Babili platform, you reach the Babili home page. By default, <strong>all</strong> translated and empty strings show on the page.</p>
<p>Follow the instruction below to get started:</p>
<p><strong>1/</strong> Select a <strong>Target</strong> language from the <strong>Select Languages</strong> drop-down list, located to the left hand corner of the page.</p>

<p><strong>2/</strong> Click the <strong>Add</strong> button to add it to the languages list</p>

<p>Note: you can add as many Target languages as you want. For example, if you translate from English to Turkish but want to use French as a support language, you need to add French to your Target languages list.</p>

<p><strong>3/</strong> Click <strong>Refresh</strong> to add all Target languages to the translation panel. The selected Target language translation boxes display underneath the English one (which is always the Source language).</p>

<p><strong>4/</strong> Translate the English segment into your target language in the text box next to the Target language flag.</p>

<p><strong>5/</strong> Click <strong>Save</strong> to save your translation.</p>

<p><strong>6/</strong> Then click <strong>Next</strong> to translate the next segment.</p>

<p>You can search a word or segment using the <strong>Search</strong> area. Note that the search is carried out on both <strong>Keys</strong> and <strong>String</strong> columns.</p>

<p>You can also search the translated strings by translation date, or range of translation dates.</p>



<h2>How to display only strings to be translated?</h2>

<p>By default, <strong>all</strong> translated and empty strings show on the page. If you want to display only the segments that need to be translated, you need to change the <strong>Show</strong> drop-down list parameter to <strong>Empty</strong>.</p>

<p>The <strong>Show</strong> drop-down list shows at the top center of the page underneath <strong>Project</strong>. After you select Empty, only new strings that require translation into one of your selected target languages will show on the page.</p>



<h2>How to display only strings translated by me?</h2>


<p>You can filter to the segments that you have translated, by selecting <strong>Translated by me </strong>in the <strong>Show</strong> drop-down list.</p>

<p>If you have Validator's rights, you can also filter on the validated segments, by date and by author.</p>



<h2>How to bulk-translate in Babili?</h2>

<p>Talend developed a remote Babili application (based on Eclipse) that allows you to download source and target files and translate bulk files directly in your Studio.</p>

<p>This enables bulk translation of whole files.</p>
  
<p>For exhaustive instruction on how to download these files for bulk translation, check out the dedicated tutorial: <a href="http://talendforge.org/tutorials/tutorial.php?language=english&amp;idTuto=18" title="tutorial Babili">http://talendforge.org/tutorials/tutorial.php?language=english&amp;idTuto=18</a></p>

<p>Translators are free to follow or not these recommendations.</p>

<p></p>

  <p>The following terms should be initial-capped as these are considered as proper nouns.</p>
  <table class="box_module_table" id="table_guide_line2">
    <tr class="row1">
      <td class="cell_one" width="30" style="border-top:solid 1px #E7E7E7">1</td>
      <td style="border-top:solid 1px #E7E7E7">Job Design, Job</td>

      <td class="cell_one">2</td>
      <td>Business Model, Model</td>
    </tr>
  </table>
  <p></p>
  <p><strong>Language-specific note:</strong><br/>
<ul style="list-style-type:square;">
		<li><strong>In German and French, the use of formal &ldquo;Sie&rdquo; and &ldquo;Vous&rdquo; should be preferred to the casual way.</strong></li>
		<li><strong>In German, technical words such as Exception should remain in English</strong></li>
</ul>
 </p>

  <p><strong>General Note:</strong></p>
  <p>These Guidelines don't mean to be exhaustive, so if any useful information is missing don't hesitate to let us know about it on the dedicated Babili Forum on: <a href="http://www.talendforge.org/forum/index.php" title="Forum - Babili">http://www.talendforge.org/forum/index.php</a></p>
